SUMMARY:Into the Light
DESCRIPTION:The Melbourne Rainbow Band presents the first of two art concerts\, “Into the Light”. \nOpposites so often fit together. Seemingly the most obvious of opposites\, light and dark create one another through their very essence. The impact of each\, however\, is often the same. Into the Light is an exploration of light- the photons\, the colour\, the sun\, the mood\, the hope\, but also the crushing intensity and terror that light can bring. \nFeaturing incredible sweeping musical scores\, a performance from Artistic Director and international horn soloist\, Brian KM\, and stirring visual art by Jackson Fumberger\, this is an event not to be missed. \nExperience this performance in the stunning light filled interior of the Victorian Pride Centre.

SUMMARY:MQFF Film Screenings: The Legacy of Venus Xtravaganza
DESCRIPTION:MQFF’s Pride Program opens with a special event to celebrate the legacy of Venus Xtravaganza\, the global icon who rose to fame in the 1991 documentary Paris is Burning. Venus was tragically murdered before the Paris is Burning was released\, and now\, decades later\, I’m Your Venus picks up a trail gone cold as her two families—biological and ballroom—come together to honour her legacy. This moving documentary comes at time in USA history where transgender rights are digressing\, invoking the decades old USA protest cry “Voguing is not a crime! Murder is”. Here Venus’s legacy reminds us that Voguing is an act of resistance as well as an artform.  \nIN-CONVERSATION\nDecolonising Black & Brown Sites of Resistance – looking back to move forward.  \nTo celebrate Venus Xtravaganza’s legacy in connection with the new documentary I’m Your Venus\, MQFF is thrilled to announce a very special in-conversation. \nElyssia Wilson-Heti (FAFSWAG) in-conversation with Mikha Diesel (the House of DIESEL)\, and Angel Furia (mother of the House of Furia). \nHow do we as a community continue to build on our resistance movements – sit in the present\, move into the future and remember the past? Venus is an ancestor; how do we continue to honour her and dismantle the institutional frameworks of harm she navigated? How do we as recipients of cultural spaces birthed by Black and Brown\, trans and queer bodies\, how do we ensure that we don’t perpetuate harm? There is deep entanglement of all the issues the community faces and these often collide in real time – this is reflected in the documentary I’m Your Venus. \nAs one of the pioneering producers from the ballroom community in Tāmaki Makaurau Aotearoa and now retired aunty Elyssia Wilson-Heti will facilitate a conversation about how we continue to decolonise these spaces with members of the ballroom community here in Naarm. \nGather to pay tribute to Venus with this in-conversation with community. \n “I want a car. I want to be with the man I love . . . I want a nice home away from New York I want to get married in church in white . . . I want to be a professional model behind cameras. I want this. This is what I want and I’m going to go for it.” — Venus Xtravaganza\, from Paris Is Burning   \nViewer Advice: contains discussions of transphobic violence\, homophobic violence and family violence.  \nVictorian Premiere  \nI’M YOUR VENUS (2024)  \nDirector: Kimberly Reed  \nCountry: USA  \nLanguage: English  \nCommunity : Queer\, Transgender

SUMMARY:MQFF Film Screenings: Drive Back Home
DESCRIPTION:BAFTA\, two-time Emmy and Tony\, and an Olivier Award actor\, writer\, presenter and producer\, Alan Cumming\, is no stranger to queer audiences. He returns to star in Michael Clowater’s Drive Back Home as the louche Pearly\, who is bailed out of a Toronto prison where he landed for the only kind of public indecency worth the risk by his estranged and cantankerous brother\, Weldon\, played by Charlie Creed-Miles (The Fifth Element\, 1997 and Harry Brown\, 2009).  \nIt’s 1970\, it’s winter\, and our siblings embark on a 1\,000-mile road trip home to New Brunswick in a truck as shaky as their relationship\, stalked by a family history of unspoken regrets and small-town porch-talk.  \nBased on the actual events of his grandfather and great uncle\, writer-director Clowater lets this hysterical and heart-warming narrative unfold at its own pace across the frozen Canadian landscape – an effort that earned the film 2024 Best Canadian Narrative Feature (Audience Choice Award) at the Calgary International Film Festival and play across the international film festival circuit.  \n“There is an undeniable\, gentle warmth to Michael Clowater’s Drive Back Home that defies the frozen Canadian winter backdrop.” – The Queer Review.  \n“Four and a half stars. Michael Clowater has fashioned a film that is both a very Canadian film and a time capsule for the entire world at the time in its treatment of the gay community.”  – In the Seats.  \nViewer Advice: contains depictions of graphic homophobic violence\, homophobia\, family violence and an attempted suicide.

DESCRIPTION:Kit Spencer explores the unlikely parallels between the male Castrato voice and the trans-male voice\, and poses the question: What if the transmasculine voice is just as remarkable as the Castrato?  \nAs a trans man\, Kit is especially conscious of the dearth of places where trans and gender diverse people can access vocal practice.

He is continuing to explore this rich field\, this time by historical exploration through narrative performance.  \nLove Unheard is a company that support Queer artists find a voice and performance space.  In times of societal change\, art as a form of self-expression and activism is more important than ever.

- 2026 People Choice Awards - Euphoria Social & Tim Lai
DESCRIPTION:This is your chance to shine a light on the everyday heroes\, quiet achievers\, and bold changemakers who make our community safer\, stronger\, and more joyful. \nWhether they work behind the scenes or take centre stage\, we want to hear about the people\, groups\, and initiatives that are creating real impact. This is a grassroots\, volunteer-led celebration — nominations are open to everyone in the LGBTQIAPN+ community and our allies across Victoria and surrounds. \nThese awards are not about titles or popularity.\nThey’re about belonging.\nThey’re about showing up.\nThey’re about community-led change. \nNominate someone whose work has touched lives — including your own. \nWe have a range of categories to recognise all kinds of contributions: \nCommunity Leader of the Year – Sponsored by With Pride Finance\nGrassroots Champion\nVolunteer of the Year\nPerformer or Artist of the Year\nStoryteller or Media Maker of the Year\nRegional Spotlight Award\nFirst Nations LGBTQIAPN+ Voice\nInclusive Organisation or Initiative of the Year – Sponsored by Joy Media\nEuphoria Social Family Award \nCan’t find a category that fits? No worries. Some people just don’t fit neatly into a box — maybe they’re a fashion icon\, a community motivator\, or a joy-bringer whose impact is felt in countless small ways. These nominees can go into the People’s Choice – Special Recognition Award\, letting the community celebrate those who make a real difference in ways that can’t be captured in a title.
